I see youre on DSD+ and 705.6k.. if i listen DSD i use USB direct on Dave
HMS goes better on PCM+ imo

R Watts told me I was better off this way

He told you what exactly? Route DSD to the DAC directly instead of using the M Scaler?

Are you talking about music?! Not about Sinad?!
No way, music is wrong when Sinad is wrong!

HMS outputs PCM only.
So on Dave PCM+ is the best option

See here.. HMS and Blu2 share the same code..

This was just prior to the performance of Leonore Overture. A stunning performance and right up there with The Wall at Earls Court, amongst others. And what a concert hall Symphony Hall is - superb acoustics. Certainly gives you a high target to aim for at home.

I can only imagine the amount of detail, staging and insane level of information the DSD format would have for a live recording of this magnitude...

Thanks so much for the recommendations though!

It's always nice to keep discovering new music.

I was originally looking for female vocals but I'm open for new stuffs so yeah.

For lovers of baroque and ancient music I recommend the excellent program on RTE LIRICS which is called VOX NOSTRA. Interesting selection of songs, expertly conducted by Vlad Smishkewych.

It airs from 7am to 10am Irish time every Sunday.

Nice set up!


Glad to be on the subject of music. I have been listening to the recent 4-album Moon sweet by Tedeschi Trucks Band. Very nice! Check it out.
I LOVE Jordi Savall. Glad to see his Beethoven mentioned. They are amongst my favorite versions!

Any recommendations for female vocals? I'm kinda running blind to what to look for. And I'm kinda bored of Adele's songs (been at them for a long long time already), no offence to the fans...

I have a question regarding the headphone mode of Dave. I know that, when connecting a headphone, the rear outputs go silent, but are they isolated through a relais or otherwise galvanically isolated when going silent? I want to know if an amp that is turned on and connected to the rear outputs would be able to alter the sound of the headphone output due to rf-noise and/or groundloops?

Thank's for your recommendation, I will definitely be giving the STB a listen, from a brief perusal of their back catalogue I was very impressed.

I'm never confident when giving musical recommendations, it's all so subjective, but here's three female vocalists I enjoy. Gillian Welch, mournful country and western in style, well recorded and some great guitar work, Soul Journey and Time The Revalator are both worth a listen Natalie Merchant, maybe not the best female vocalist, but she has a very distinctive voice and her albums are pretty eclectic in nature, pop, blues and country flavours are all prevalent, Tiger Lily and The House Carpenters Daughter are very different albums, but in my view would be a good place to start.


Tory Amos, a bit off the wall musically, it's hard to categorise her musical style, it's contemporary in nature, Pop?, not really, she was a child musical genius and a classically trained pianist, but as a teenager she rebelled and started to develop her own style. Their are however strong classical influences in her music. Two albums I'd recommend are Boys For Pele and Under The Pink.

In no specific order, just as they appear in my QoBuz. Lorde, Anna Calvi, Yael Naim, Agnes Obel, Angel Olsen, Lykke Li and you could try some Billie Eilish if you want to get down with the kids.

I don't have a lot of female vocal but you might like Patricia Barber "Modern Cool" and there's Jessye Norman with the Strauss "Four Last Songs" to consider on the classical side.
